Sure I read somewhere that we are able to apply directly to Supreme Court. I guess that if you are given leave to appeal, it looks better as the acting judges would seem to thinks there is a case. However going straight to the SC we would have to construct some form of business case?!? If not given permission by the three judges in the appeal case, I would think it would be highly unlikely our new owners would continue to pour money into an appeal with the Supreme court. After all they have said on more the one occasion that the outcome of the case would not stop the UWE going ahead. I personally think it is time to draw a line in the sand and have no doubt we have now heard the last of the Sainburys debacle and look forward to the future of BRFC with great optimism. I can't disagree with those views.

You are like a broken record Padstow. Relegation happened,it's been and gone and we have come back stronger with the best manager I have seen at Rovers in 43 years. This mans potential is limitless, a bit like your poisonous vendetta against the man. He has proven yourself and many others very wrong. Time and again. I know you like making a fool of yourself but do yourself a favour,be the big man you try to portray and lay off Darrel Clarke and admit you were wrong about the man. Did he need your recommendations? Did he need your help? Did he hell. Edit:: Darrel Clarke was an inexperienced man when he took over. Green and wet behind the ears. And boy has he learned. Give the man some credit. I was making the point that if the fans didn't expect to be relegated why should anyone else do otherwise.as for vitriolic broken record your continual moaning about the former board isvin the same vein as you accuse me of. We will have to disagree about him being the best ever manager I can think of at least two better Brian I think a large number of fans thought we would be relegated until the Wycombe match, otherwise why the unconfined joy thinking we were safe? Then of course we fell through the trapdoor the following week. The complacency demonstrated by Mr Watola's infamous words at the Supporters Club meeting was frankly breathtaking and he was rightly taken to task by people in the room many of home were fiercely loyal to the previous board. The fact is the club had diced with relegation for several seasons and nothing appeared to be changing to make a difference to the overall trajectory. DC has done a brilliant job given the resources at his disposal, his ability to change a game with a substitution is second to none. What a great pleasure to find Rovers back in the League and for once challenging at the top of a division, the last time being during the late run in 2007 and before that, 99/2000? That is a terrible record, Darrell has restored supporters pride in the team again, and long may it continue.

I don't really care what he said or what he should have said. We were never going to win the case anyway so it onwards and upwards now regarding the stadium and hopefully the team too. I'd imagine Watola will be out of a job some time soon as they realise what a buffoon he is anyway. With the new set up is there really a place for him at the club ? I think he's probably just been kept there for the sake of the handover between the sainsburys case and the new direction which we're taking regarding the stadium project. Wouldn't surprise me if he left in the next few days. UTG I don't normally do this but....bump.

That is a terrible record, Darrell has restored supporters pride in the team again, and long may it continue. I thought we'd be relegated after the Hartlepool match. The game before that Ward changed back to 4-4-2 and brought Harrold back in to the side and we lost for the first time in 7 games. I left the mem that night thinking that if Ward couldn't see his mistake and kept that side and formation for the rest of the season we would be relegated. The Wycombe match was great but as the final whistle blew I looked at the table , realised we only needed a draw from our last game and didn't think we would get it. As far as not having a plan for not staying up goes I couldn't care less whether he did or not any more but anyone watched us regularly that season and seasons before could surely see it was on the cards.

After all, they had nothing to do with it, so why should they have to justify it? If TW is still in his job by this time next week I'll be surprised. He may have earned a nice little leaving present for doing this last deed of the old guard. Bump tiddley ump bump - bump bump

I agree, but with a modicum of defense, at one point I think we were bolted in mid table, 10 points from the play offs, 10 points from the drop zone. I am not sure when budgets are drawn, but I would say well before may by which time were were relegated. Budgets can be meaningless at a football club in any case, the attendances fit the turnover if you know there will be a shortfall and that will be underwritten by the directors. Very few forecasts are actually correct, just look at the budget this week. Cut from 2.4% to 2.0% growth and a staggered 0.1% for the next 3 years. Not what Osbourne shouted about when the tories were trying to lever themselves into government. Even if what they do is better than what Labour can hash together. But I digress. Point is Watola was led by the nose by Higgs, the perception is he had something to do with the downfall, when in essence he is paid by the club to structure a budget laid down by the ones above, we were losing so much money, what he put in the budget didnt really matter. If you really want to be pedantic we only got 4 points from the last 7 games,4 of which were at home,in all honesty a point a game was not beyond the realms of possibility,so I think that relegation was never on the agenda,otherwise JW would not have been replaced when he was,an d even the most negative poster s on here would have expected Rovers to get the point they needed in the last home match against a side who had fish and chips on the coach and forgot their kit,so you can see why the board were caught unaware as were the fans.When JW was sacked we were averaging 1.13 points per game over the last 8 games we averaged 0.875 Hahahah. Change the record will you. For what it's worth, you are one of the most negative posters on here! Don't know why you're talking about 4 points from 7 games when DC was in charge for 8? Did you not want to include the extra win in your statistics to suit your agenda? The team was getting worse with JW as the season went on, that's why we lost against rubbish like Hartlepool 4-0! JW probably would have got us that point on the last day, but he wouldn't have got us the 2 wins DC did and he definitely wouldn't have picked up 3 points away to Wycombe because of the negative way he set the team up, especially away. DC tried to change up a broken squad that wasn't performing and were going down and people complained! At least he tried something different that didn't include playing Tom Parkes on LW You must hate the fact that DC is doing well and has the majority of fans on side after most blamed him.

We will have to disagree about him being the best ever manager I can think of at least two better Some of us know far more about football than you think we do. I was CERTAIN we'd go down in October and was proven correct. If I could see that in October, I'm amazed TW, you or anyone else could not see that it was a possibility when there were 90 minutes to go!? And yet you thought we'd get relegated this season as recently as about 10 games ago. The mind boggles. At the very least you need to stop talking down to other posters in a condescending manner as it's becoming pretty clear you're not half as knowledgeable as you like to think you are Padstow. You must be psychic if you knew !!!!! in October that we would be relegated,considering we had 43 points from 38 games it looked more certain we would stay up rather than be relegated.As for knowledge I bow to your superior intelligence,perhaps I should step down from my job and recommend you to take my place,no problem just say the word and pm me with your details

We will have to disagree about him being the best ever manager I can think of at least two better I don't usually have a pop at the board, but to be fair surely we should have been prepared for every eventuality? We got closer & closer to relegation to the conference as each year past. Surely a director of finance would have looked at the worst case scenario and have made contingencies, just in case? Maybe he had but having won at Wycombe the week before and needing only 1 point from our last home game he would not have been alone in expecting us to be able to do that small thing

It's highly unlikely I - or anyone for that matter - could be a full-time football scout to match yourself. Taking your place - and indeed removing you from the beautiful game - would be a crime against humanity of epic proportions. You're welcome to email Bet365 and find out how much of a psychic I was in October of that year... Either way, it was pretty darn obvious with 90 minutes to come that we had a chance of being relegated - and that, as such, it probably would have been worth our financial director doing some sums. If you don't have the intellect to see that though, then it's hardly surprising that you need to bow to my superior intelligence.

Of course I forgot the last minute winner by Kaid Mohammed so 7 points from 8 does that make you feel better,as for blame perhaps but I am convinced if we had played 2 strikers instead of 4 against Mansfield we would have got the point required

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and if you backed us going down the year we did, you should be nursing wounds from the 2 years prior to that when we had even bigger issues.
The ward team I think was the better of the teams - muzzy saved us one year but the rest was woeful.
Any question of Clarke being poor are talking to a settled issue - even if he loses every game from now and is sacked in 5 games, he still took a cheap squad and got promotion and then got us 3rd. Case closed.
So there based on my even larger intellect and rapier like football reflexes.
Sincerely,
Lieutenant Gregory Stevens Football BA hons PhD in being smarter than you

PROVE IT or shut it Here you go: gaschat.co.uk/post/134860/threadgaschat.co.uk/post/134989/threadTwo of a selection of absolutely hilarious remarks you made on a thread that makes you look a total belter. Some bizarre things said by someone who knows sooooo much about the beautiful game, as you like to remind everyone on here, time and time and time and time again with your condescending remarks Mr "I'm a football scout don't you know". Oh dear.

So we have played a grand total of less than 10 games since November 25th,some calendar you have,you must be the biggest know all I have ever had the misfortune to come across and I have met some real belters,SO qualified in the intricacies of the game that all you can do is deride other peoples opinions,because obviously they are so inferior to one of your undoubted super intellect,perhaps you could show us mere mortals pictures of your university doctorates or nobel prizes.You are the biggest PRATT I have heard off.so perhaps that is where you get your intelligence,the international school of idiots

I said roughly ten games - talk about being selective with your argument. You could have fronted up and admitted you got it wrong but nope - twisting your argument further now. Just be honest Padstow; you don't know half as much as you like to tell all and sundry that you think you do. To have you moaning about another posters' inability to consider another person's opinion is quite possibly the most ironic thing I have ever read.
